Following a bit of whimsy, I was pricing used G3 iMacs yesterday afternoon. For the 99.99999999999% of you who have insufficient background information on the G3 family of iMacs to sufficiently appreciate this entry… the G3 family of iMacs were fazed out by Apple in 2001, and were the original form factor for the iMac that was introduced in 1998. Anyhoo, I thought a used computer that sold for $799 new in mid-2001 might be pretty cheap these days… some six years later.

I couldn’t find one cheaper than $400.

Just in case you were wondering, that does not qualify as “pretty cheap.”
